The three ex-Venom members added drummer Chris Patterson to complete Cronos' initial line-up, releasing Dancing in the Fire in 1990,[1] followed by 1991's Rock n' Roll Disease.

Instead, the band released the confusingly-titled Venom in 1995,[1] which collected songs from the first two records, material from Triumvirate, as well as re-recorded Venom material performed by the current Cronos line-up.

In 1995, the 'classic' Venom lineup reformed, cancelling the release of Triumvirate and sending Cronos (the group) into permanent hiatus.

[2] Hickey then embarked on a brief stint touring with the English death metal band Carcass.

Cronos' 2006 Hell to the Unknown double-CD repackages the Venom album with further rarities, demos, and previously released material.
